Asking €100,000 for 150 m² with finishing estimated at €150/m² (≈€22,500) gives an effective price ≈€817/m² vs regional baseline €260/m², so it's well above typical levels. Large garden and land (~1,500m² + ~4,500m²) and many photos are positives, but the listing has been online 491 days (stale_listing).
More on the house and the area
Classic brick Monferrato farmhouse with strong curb appeal, generous private garden and peaceful rolling-hills views. The building is solid and largely habitable with large rooms, high ceilings, fireplace and garage/workshop, but it needs finishing works and modern bathrooms — a realistic, affordable countryside home for someone willing to complete the upgrades.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €12,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Renovation/finishing still required (seller notes some works unfinished)
- Interiors and bathrooms are dated — one small toilet appears to be a squat-style and will need modernizing
- Overhead power pole/lines cross the garden and are visually prominent
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
